Re: ShopTalk: super flat wedge

Just an idea: I have seen irons with the shaft bonded to a pin that goes INSIDE the shaft. Many putters use this type of connection.Considering that the amount of stress on a gap wedge isn't likely to be great (and despite the fact that modern iron shafts are both designed and intended to go I

Re: ShopTalk: Making .370 shafts fit into Pings

I have seen quite a few bent shafts RIGHT AT the hosel on older PING irons due to the hardness of the head (17-4). I would be really concerned that a split shaft would present a serious danger of breakage and the head flying off which would be a liability. I think you're better off just finding a

Yep, from a friend's Mizuno MX-23's, so undoubtedly they're soft stepped. I measured the tip to first step to derive the shaft needed. I'll probably just call Leaderboard tomorrow, thanks! On 4/3/11, Dave Tutelman wrote: > At 01:36 PM 4/3/2011, Ron Blanchard wrote

Re: ShopTalk: Question on TTDGX100 Sensicore shafts

Tom, I am planning on selling these shafts. The fact that the tip section is a full inch shorter then what I find on True Temper's website is what's concerning me. The shafts do fit properly into tapered hosel heads, nice and snug, and there is no evidence that someone tipped these shafts, just p

ShopTalk: Question on TTDGX100 Sensicore shafts

I have had a set of shafts here at the house for awhile. I believe they are Mizuno taper-tip pullouts. I am preparing to list them on Ebay and noticed that the measurements do not match those on the True Temper website. For example, I have a shaft marked "SNDGIX1-9 37.00" which correctly IDs the

Depending on the type of plastic, it may not melt very quickly. I did get a plug out of a Cleveland 460 head that way. It took quite a while for the acetone to work the plug down to the point where I could get it part way out the hole and grab it with a pair of long needle nose pliers. In a p

ShopTalk: I can't get SL wood shafts to play stiff enough

Anyone run into this? I recently did a test install of a .350 SL x100 in a driver, and a .335 SL X100 in a 3-wood. Both shafts were tipped per TT instructions. The driver came out to 244cpm with a grip at 44", and the 3-wood was 248 (grip on) at 42.75". Yikes. I guess it's not a good choice
